Narrative : The Feast of Tabernacles

- Not of this World -
John 08:01-59

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple,
and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto
him,

“Master, this woman was taken in adultery; in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded
us, that such should be stoned: But what sayest thou? “
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and
with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him,
he lifted up himself, and said unto them,

“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being
convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last:
And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and

saw none but the woman, he said unto her,
“Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?”
She said,
“No man, Lord.”
And Jesus said unto her,

“Neither do I condemn thee: Go, and sin no more.”
